A Kelowna Vacation for the Dogs

Jul 4, 2018 at 09:35 am

Sometimes, a family vacation just needs to include the whole family. You can talk about how expensive it is to get a dogsitter, but we all know that you just don’t want to spend an extended period away from your pet! We get it. That’s why Hotel Zed is pet-friendly.

We’re not like any other hotel, and neither is our pet policy. We allow more than one pet in the room, we allow pets that aren’t just dogs, and we don’t require you to be in the room at all times when your pet is there. That being said, we do need you to leave us your cell phone number so we can call you if your pet gets rowdy!

 

Lexi thanks #hotelzedkelowna housekeepers Amanda, Amber & Nadia for making up her room and for using her own blanket for a touch of home away from home. #travelingdog #travelbc #ilovemydog

But, really, why take your pet with you on vacation if they’re just going to be stuck in the room? Kelowna has loads of outdoor, pet-friendly adventures! Make like Adventure Cats Bolt and Keel who left Hotel Zed to check out the Kettle Valley Trestle Trail, or stay closer to the hotel and take your buddy on a walk to City Park or down the scenic promenade to stretch your legs.  

 

Travel tip: Although we prefer quiet wilderness and camping, sometimes it’s nice to have a space for Bolt and Keel to spread out while traveling. That way we can use the hotel room as a base camp and fit as much in as possible the rest of the day! Thanks for the fun, funky pad to crash in, @hotelzed @tourismkelowna #explorekelowna

It’s not just Hotel Zed that wants you to explore the city with your dog. Many of our local wineries, like Tantalus Vineyards and Ancient Hill Estate Winery, are pet-friendly so you can wine and dine with your dog! Check out Tourism Kelowna’s list of dog-friendly wineries so you can get planning.
